Doomsday coming closer, by a minute

The doomsday theory, which proclaims the world will end on December 21, 2012, has always been a frightening thought for everyone. Nonetheless, with the new year just occurring, we are less than three years away from our so called "doomsday". However, what you may not know is that the Bulletin of Atomic Sciences[BAS] in Chicago, Ill has the world's most trusted "doomsday clock", if this can even be on the level of reliable. Recently, the doomsday clock has gone from five minutes before December 21, 2012 to six minutes before that date.
You must think it takes a genius to decide what time the apocalypse will start, but basically, you don't. The time is affected by major events worldwide. The worst an event is, the closer time is to midnight. The better an event is, the farther it becomes to midnight, and if you were wondering, my resources have claimed that the recent earthquake in Haiti was not a factor in this recent decision.
In 1945, when of the most controversial events took place, the bombing in Japan on August 6, 1945 and also August 9, 1945. Some say it was an act of patriotism that the USA represented. On the other hand, others have claimed this is just a sign of just what this world is turning into, a world that will come to an end by the combat of nuclear weapons. One group of these people were the Bulletin of Atomic Sciences, who created a doomsday clock for when the end of the world would occur. This clock was revealed to the public in 1947, just when the Cold War was underway. The closest the clock ever got to midnight was two minutes to midnight when the USA and Soviet Union tested thermonuclear devices within a span of nine months. The largest jump it took was thirty-seven years later in 1991, when the clock went from ten minutes to midnight to seventeen minutes to midnight due to the end of the Soviet Union.

This is a picture of the doomsday clock, and as you can see, it has been turned from five minutes to six minutes.

Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist on the BAS, said"Moving it back by a minute means it can go in any direction." The last change was a two minute increase from seven minutes to midnight to five minutes to midnight.
The Board has also said a few ideas on how to increase the minutes. First, treaties must be formed against enemy countries to avoid the use of nuclear weapons. Also, climate change must be enforced.
In my opinion, I do not think that we should live by this clock. We live by how we want to live it, not a doomsday clock. However, I do believe piece and climate change must be enforced to make our world a better place.
